On another note, I must say when I was pregnant, I rarely got offered a seat. Often the person sitting in the priority seat was either asleep (or pretending to be!) or engrossed in their phone. I always felt awkward asking for a seat but at the same time I was scared about falling or being squashed. I dreaded the train ride the whole 9 months!

Reminds me of riding the bus in Colombo a few years back and the signs over the front few seats in three languages ‘reserved for the elderly’, ‘reserved for pregnant women’ and … ‘reserved for clergy’!
